‘The Rite’/’1408’ Director Feels No Fear for Hammer’s ‘Wake’

I might have hated The Rite, but I did dig 1408 and do think that Mikael Hafstrom is quite the talented director.

Heat Vision reports that Hafstrom is attached to direct the thriller Wake for Exclusive Media Group’s Hammer Films banner. Christopher Borelli and Matt Sand wrote the screenplay, “about a sociopath who is incapable of feeling fear.”

Hammer – the legendary company that’s propelled itself back into the genre limelight with both Let Me In and Wake Wood – will produce and finance the project.

Hammer also recently produced The Resident and will next have The Woman In Black, starring Daniel Radcliffe, in theaters January 20, 2012.
